Camping with bears.
Years ago, my wife and 7 year old son, Bobby, and 5 year old niece went on a camping, hiking and fishing trip to Yosemit, which was my wife’s favorite place to visit and hike/camp in. Not in the tourist valley, but way back in the very center of the park at the base of Mt. Hoffman, by May Lake. The trail from the parking lot is easy, hardly anyone goes there, it’s quiet, peaceful, unspoilt. I had been there many times, but this time I had to work, so they all went without me. A few times that I went up the trail to May Lake with Jme we were tracked by a bear. We could hear it breathing and wheezing as it shadowed us all the way, but we never saw it, but we could hear it brushing against tree branches and bushes. We never felt in danger.
